Power of Attorney for Transfer of Land to the Principal (Thai Department of Lands, T.D. 21)

หนังสือมอบอำนาจ (ท.ด. 21) is the standard power of attorney form of Thailand’s Department of Lands (กรมที่ดิน). This version has the subject “โอนให้ตัวการ” — transfer to the principal — printed on it. It is used when land is registered in the name of a person who acquired it as an agent (ตัวแทน) on behalf of someone else — the principal (ตัวการ) — and the land is now transferred to that principal. With it the registered owner (grantor) authorises another person (agent) to register the transfer at the Land Office: file the application, give statements to the officer and sign until the registration is completed.

The form records the land as shown on the title deed (โฉนด): map sheet, land number, survey page, deed number, sub-district, district and province. The powers text names the building on the land (if transferred with it) and the principal. FoxDocs fills in an individual principal (นาย/นาง/นางสาว): it circles the title and strikes out “หรือบริษัท … จำกัด”. If the principal is a company, its name is written on the form by hand — the space is too small for print. The form is filled in in Thai.

• the grantor — the owner named on the title deed (ผู้มอบอำนาจ), who transfers the land;
• the agent — the person who goes to the Land Office (ผู้รับมอบอำนาจ);
• the principal (ตัวการ) — the person or company receiving the land; named in the powers text;
• two witnesses who certify the grantor’s signature or fingerprint.

If the agent is the principal or represents the principal, the note on the form requires adding the consent «และยินยอมให้ผู้รับมอบอำนาจเข้าทำการแทนในนามตนเองและ/หรือเป็นตัวแทนของอีกฝ่ายหนึ่งด้วย»: the agent acts both in his or her own name and on behalf of the other party.

• place and date (year in the Buddhist Era, พ.ศ.);
• land details from the โฉนด title deed;
• name, age, race, nationality, parents’ names, address and phone of the grantor and of the agent; the Thai ID number (13 boxes) is written in by hand by the grantor and the agent — the service does not print it;
• the building on the land (house, building or shophouse, storeys, house number) — if transferred together with the land;
• the individual principal: title (นาย/นาง/นางสาว) and name in Thai script;
• signatures of the grantor and two witnesses — by hand.

• the original title deed (โฉนดที่ดิน);
• copies of the grantor’s ID card and house registration, signed by the grantor;
• the agent’s ID card or passport;
• where relevant — documents showing the agency relationship, marital status documents or the spouse’s consent, and for a company its certificate of registration (หนังสือรับรอง).

The exact list, fees, taxes and processing time are not stated on the form — check with the Land Office (สำนักงานที่ดิน) where the land is registered. The officer examines the circumstances of the agency; such a transfer does not make lawful an arrangement the law prohibits (for example holding land for a foreigner), so check this in advance.

1. Open the chat on this page and describe the transfer in any language: who transfers, who will act as agent, which plot and to whom.
2. Send photos of the title deed and ID cards or answer the questions — the assistant writes the data in Thai script and converts the year to พ.ศ.
3. Check the fields and download the PDF.
4. Print it, sign it before two witnesses and hand it to the agent with the title deed and copies of documents.
